> hi all, just joined the board. I had all but numbers 11 and 14, so thanks! I love doing these puzzles just for fun.

> funny story- over a year ago there was a crossword contest I had the answers to. I called my father in law with the answers and we agreed to split the money if either one won. ( it was the puzzle involving the planets). sadly, my father in law passed away before the results. when the family went to his home for the funeral, there was the games magazine sitting on his desk. lo and behold, my mother in law calls a couple months later and said he won a runner up t shirt! ( I won nothing). she gave it to me, since we both loved puzzles of all kinds. so now that goofy shirt means a lot to me. a memory of “Pops”

Does the runner-up in this contest get a lamp shaped like a leg?

For #14 I got “Tybee Island” - it’s in GA. tie-B-I-lend. The B is from the grade 8.5 and “lend” is a synonym for “give”. You all sure about the crater?

I also considered Tybee Island, but have a problem with the give/lend connection.  
to me, give seems more permanent than lend. it does seem like a possibility tho.

This is my first post here…so I hope you don’t think I’m a smart-alec or anything…  
but it’s

14: Tycho Crater (Tie Coke Rater)

I read thru this thread and got the one answer I didn’t have–and never would have gotten! (Mark Texiera) I must have spent a hundred hours searching for athletic “Marks”. Thank you ALL!!
